Glenn Beck has shared various book recommendations and literary references across multiple podcast appearances. He recommended reading Sebastian Haffner's Defying Hitler as a historical warning regarding political polarization, and he referred to the Bible simply as 'the book' while discussing themes of evil and the end times. In further discussions, Beck mentioned reading Ray Kurzweil's The Age of Spiritual Machines in the late 1990s as his introduction to thinking about the future problems associated with artificial intelligence. He brought up the Book of Revelation to explain the purpose of biblical prophecy regarding fear and the end times, and he referenced a book by Yuval Noah Harari to support arguments concerning the loss of free will. Furthermore, Beck mentioned the film Citizen Kane while discussing a collection of Orson Welles memorabilia, showed a copy of Mein Kampf owned by Claus von Stauffenberg to illustrate that owning certain texts does not define a person's character, and brought up his own past book, Arguing with Idiots, to explain the stylistic inspiration and audience reception behind his writing format.
